Arkansas apostille requirements for notarized affidavits, consents, letters, etc.
If you need to obtain an Arkansas apostille for a power of attorney, authorization, consent, or affidavit notarized by an Arkansas notary public, ensure that the document is notarized properly. Depending on the document, the notary must include either an acknowledgment or a jurat. Documents that only have a notary’s signature and stamp - without the notarial certificate — will be rejected.
If the notarized document is drafted in a foreign language, it must be accompanied by an English translation, with a translator's affidavit. The translators signature must be properly notarized.
Remotely (electronically) notarized documents cannot be apostilled.
Certain records, such as birth certificates, death certificates, and court-issued documents, cannot be notarized and must be certified by the appropriate state agency before an apostille can be issued.
